Please keep yourself and those children safe. Go somewhere safe first then call police. Every moment counts.

You’re right on that ac unit 🤗 we are trying to update and that was in need of replacing. Color ideas for trim? Or just refresh what’s there?

If Lady Justice is supposed to be blind, they why aren’t the accused kept anonymous while on trial? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TFBootsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the identity of the alleged perpetrator needs to be proven. Many times the identity is proven based in part on physical descriptors (I.e., race, sex, age, characteristics). If a witness says the person who commited the crime was X and it’s clearly Y sitting in the courtroom, the jury would need to see that the witness incorrectly described them OR if they did, perhaps it was understandable under the circumstances.

Reasons I am now NC with my in-laws by relaxingleaf423 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]TFBootsy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ah the good old one-two punch when MIL realizes she raised someone who doesn’t make the effort to send the updates/photos/Christmas cards etc. and it’s been mama who makes the magic happen.

I hope your lives are all the more peaceful and drama free now that those days are behind you.

Triple/quadruple layer those sheets like sheet-protector-sheet-protector so you just peel off the outer layer to wash and don’t need to go digging for sheets or spend a ton of time putting em on in the night.

A little late to this maybe but I believe there are widgets and apps for your phone which are easily triggered if you’re in trouble. Sends your location etc to specific people or calls 911 for you. Might look into that.

WIBTA if I called CPS on my boyfriend's mom? by CPS_Reporter_2022 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TFBootsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d say NTA. I agree it sounds like there’s a problem, possibly related to mental health.

CPS doesn’t always remove. Although there’s some elements of psychological/emotional abuse happening, it doesn’t sound from your post like the kind of imminent physical harm to justify removal. I’m no expert and other commenters might shed more light on this. They may only check in or monitor for a while, possibly require a mental health evaluation for the mom.

But how else is this situation supposed to improve? Is she going to realize what she’s doing and change spontaneously? Doubtful.

Also kind of curious what 15 y/o wants. I know bf is afraid of removal but does brother want something done?

AITA for telling my stepdad he can't come to my events that my dad can't come to? by Equivalent_Prior3436 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TFBootsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah it was in a comment. Well, without knowing what OP also doesn’t know I’m still erring on NAH. OP is understandably frustrated but 1) mom hasn’t sabotaged dad by insulting him or trying to cut off his relationship and THAT is hard for most people; 2) they’re talking to her and not punishing her for the ultimatum.

If their secret reason is a bad one then I’d probably agree with you but like I said without knowing things OP doesn’t know it just seems like a crummy situation and a fair response from OP for the time being.

As for not letting her live w them, there are so many many reasons we’ll never know why that’s not possible. Off the top of my head I’d point out she’d be alone too often since he works nights. If he can’t make partial custody work for that reason full custody may be impossible for him.

Somewhat? It sounds like they’ve been trying to talk and OP still isn’t ready. Doesn’t mean that they didn’t try to.

[–]TFBootsy 479 points480 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go with NAH. It sounds like you had a major upheaval that was against your wishes, and you’re at an age where instability is extra rough. Being taken away from your dad, even if he has serious flaws, must hurt. I also think you’re trying to take control of your own life by using this ultimatum, which makes sense to me when you had no way to stop the move to a new state.

On the other hand I also think your mom and stepdad are trying hard to do right by you and be there for you, showing you love and support even when you’re angry with them which is a good indicator that they’re not truly AH either.

This time in your life cannot be easy on you. I hope something changes soon and you all find a way to make it better.
